We're on our way
5/6/202655 min
Amy Lawrence, James McNicholas and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid to reach their first Champions League final in 20 years.
The panel reflect on the scenes before the game as fans greeted the team bus, the atmosphere at Emirates Stadium, the journey everyone has been on that’s led to this achievement, the impressive Champions League run to the final, the stellar job Arteta has done since taking over, the mature performance from the whole team, Gyokeres’ best showing for the club, Lewis-Skelly’s ovations from the crowd following his display, Saka fittingly scoring the winning goal, and praise for White and Rice.
Plus, we hear from Art de Roché, respond to listener messages and look ahead to the West Ham away on Sunday.
